Probably not, but it's a Z, man. Who gives a damn about comfort, this is easily the coolest car you can get for less than 50 grand. BUY IT NOW, you know you want to...

Exactly! It's the sharpest looking sportscar for the $$. Look at other 2 seaters and you'll find the Z has more leg room than any other.

Im 5"8" 180lbs, I fit fine. I do have a question though, not that I'm thread jacking her, but its about comfort. Do any of you guys get cramps in your legs? I just got this car and was wondering if just havent found the write seating position.

Wait, YOU get cramps in the car at your height? that seems weird to me unless you've got the longest legs in the world or i misread your post. I'm 6'6" and dont get cramps lol...

6'3" 180 and with shoes on i put the seat all the way back and without shoes i put it foward about an inch or two.

Kind of scary though going from a Mercedes with massive leg room to the Z. I didnt really test drive it and i put the seat all the way back and was like sh*t theres not enough leg room. But then after you start driving it feels a lot better or that may have been the extra 100hp. IDK

Being 6'5" 265lbs I truly doubted being comfortable... but once I picked up the car, took it for a test drive and all it felt fine.

I do, however, wiggle and stretch my feet from time to time during trips, but it's nothing major, just keeping the blood circulating. I also drive a Ford Expedition, talk about a major change.

Im 6 feet 155 pounds, its perfect.
My friend 6.1 190 pounds, says its perfect.
My brother 5,11 290 pounds, says its no good for his butt hehe.
My other friend 6 feet, 270 pounds, says the seats spread his cheeks LOL and requested my first mod be bigger seats.

pretty much only complaint i get is that the bucket seats are not butt freindly for those of you with a little more behind. Other then that it seems fine.

Sounds like you haven't quite adjusted the seat perfectly for you. Adjust and drive for a bit, you'll soon know.

Now back to the OP's thread.

You 'fit' into an Eclipse and you're worried about fitting into a 350Z?

I'm 6'-2" tall and 220 lbs and feel very cramped in any year Eclipse (except for the first gens). However, I have no problems fitting in the 350Z.
